Congratulations to all Madill competitors at WOSSA. Our school was indeed represented very well, with the majority of our athletes turning in "Personal Bests". Student Council Another year has come to an end for the Student Council. This year has been a good year. This wouldn't have been possible with- out the dedicated work and leadership of our president, Lois McLaughlin. Lois experienced disillusion- ment, enlightment, encourage- ment and discouragement in her term of office. When asked what the most interesting experience was, she replied that it was the cooperation given to the Student Council by the administration, especially by Mr. Ritter, who willingly gave his support and guidance. She felt that the most successful activity had to be the dances. Need we saymore? Student -teacher relationships were quite good. Most teachers were willing to help out the Student Council all they could, and this developed into respect of rights on both sides. However, there were some dis- appointments for Lois. She felt that the school spirit really had riot improved that much. The games and activities were being attended by the same people, while there were just as many hall loungers and people in the smoking area. The clubs are still lacking in membership, a far cry from the days when Drama Club had to turn away members. As usual, the Winter Carnival didn't come off as planned. It suffered badly due to lack of organization, brought about by the blizzards. If she had to do it over again is there anything she would change? The new Student Council should work for a longer period of time with the old council, because Lois found she was just getting the hang of it when there was a new president to take over. More committees should be formed to help get more people involved, and to take the excess load off the executive Lois had some advice to give to next year's council. The Student Council acts as a tie between the students and teachers which must by maintainers in order to insure cooperation from both sectors. There seems to be a gap, in the school, between the senior students and the junior grades. More interaction between the students might soften the edges of these cliques. Keep the Mon- day morning assemblies worth- while. It helps push away the Monday morning blues. Have more class rep meetings, and take suggestions from the stu- dents on what they want. Don't be afraid to ask people for hell] Working on the Student Councir takes a lot of time, but a personal sacrifice should not be made. If school marks drop too low be- cause of this it is no shame to re- sign and turn the job over to someone else. And most im- portant of all, good luck. I think I speak for everyone when I say thank you to Lois Mc- Laughlin and everyone who worked so diligently to make this year an enjoyable success. It was really worth it. It has been a good year. H - P cheering competition After a number of frustrations, setbacks, and disappoinrments the cheerleaders boarded the bus on Tuesday, May 18 for the Hur- on -Perth Cheerleading Competi- tion in Exeter. The team put worth an excellent effort and ex- ecuted their routine the best they ever had. The competition was stiff, with many outstanding per- formances. The Madill squad came in fourth, with the team from Central Huron taking top honors. The highlight of the day was not really the competition itself, but the interval when the judges were reaching their decision. During this time, all the squads formed a circle in the middle of the .floor and everyone began cheering to- gether. The walls echoed with the sounds and a feeling of unison radiated through the entire gym- nazium. Suddenly it wasn't win- ning that was most important, but the sense of participation and being a part of such a group. But isn't that what such a competition is for? Model Parliament Last Thursday, F. E. Madill was host to debating teams of the four other secondary schools in Huron County — Seaforth, Ex- eter, Goderich and Clinton. In the debates held last Thursday morning, Exeter seniors and jun- iors emerged victorious, and won both championships. After a de- licious lunch, the students of the teams assembled for Model Parliament. First the topic, "In Cabinet legislation should be abolished", was debated. The government then introduced the topic, "A core curriculum is not needed in secondary schools". And this, too, was debated. The debating club of F. E. Madill thanks Mrs. Tiffin, who put so much work into the club, and made it a good experience for all who participated.
